OwlView Plus — Full Colour 24/7
A large 1/1.2″ sensor, ColorHunter with Wise-ISP and an F1.0 2.8 mm lens capture true full-colour 4K detail down to near-darkness, with warm white light to 30 m — so you record clothing, faces and vehicles in colour around the clock, not grainy black-and-white IR.
Smart AI Detection & People Counting
On-camera perimeter protection classifies humans, vehicles and non-motor vehicles with false-alarm filtering, plus people-flow counting and crowd-density monitoring — ideal for retail, schools and busy commercial sites. 130 dB true WDR balances bright and shaded areas.
AI IQ Recorder — Find Events Fast
The NVR502-IQ runs AcuSearch, VCA Search and Search by Image: filter footage by people, vehicles and attributes, or drop in a reference image to surface matches across all channels — turning an hours-long review into minutes.
16-Port PoE & RAID Storage
Sixteen built-in PoE ports (240 W total) power and connect every camera over a single Cat6 run — no separate switch. Two SATA bays to 16 TB each support RAID 1 mirroring, with 4K HDMI + VGA output and 6 spare channels to grow into.
Do the cameras record in colour at night?
Yes. These are OwlView Plus cameras — the large 1/1.2″ sensor, F1.0 lens and ColorHunter with Wise-ISP deliver true full-colour 4K video 24/7, with warm white light to 30 m in dark scenes.
Is this kit NDAA compliant?
Yes. Both the Uniview UNV OwlView Plus cameras and the NVR502-16B-P16-IQ recorder are NDAA Section 889 compliant, making this kit suitable for government, education and security-sensitive sites in Australia.
How many drives can it hold, and does it support RAID?
The NVR has two SATA bays taking up to 16 TB each (32 TB total) and supports RAID 1 mirroring, so critical footage can be written to two drives for redundancy. HDDs are sold separately.
How much recording time will I get?
It depends on your cameras and settings. With all 10 × 8MP cameras recording continuously, roughly 16 TB holds about five weeks; switching to motion/smart-event recording or fewer cameras extends that significantly (full table above).
How are the cameras powered?
Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports (240 W total) — no separate switch or power supplies.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes. The NVR has 16 PoE ports and you're using 10, so you can add up to 6 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.
What is AcuSearch?
AcuSearch is the recorder's -IQ AI review tool. With VCA Search and Search by Image, it lets you filter footage by people, vehicles and attributes, or drop in a reference image to surface matches — so you find events in seconds.
Do the cameras support two-way audio?
Yes. Each OwlView Plus camera has a built-in mic and two-way audio support plus audio/alarm I/O (check local laws before recording audio).
Can I view it remotely?
Yes. Free P2P cloud access through the Uniview UNV app and EZCloud lets you watch live and recorded footage from your phone or computer anywhere.
